How do I delegate and ask others for help without abdicating my responsibilities and without unfairly foisting something on them?
Is the level of assistance that you are asking for at which you differ based on the context (a personal friend, a co-worker, someone that you’re in a volunteer organization with, of the relationship)?

Not taking for granted how many people your parents had a positive impact on in their lives. Dad
died about 3 weeks ago. I was genuinely touched by the number of people who came to the wake and told our family how he had a positive impact on them.

Reconciling that I’m not learning some programming concepts as quickly as I had hoped and occasionally feeling that my feelings of imposter syndrome are valid? Prioritizing what to learn. Depending on the task at hand at work, it varies; a smattering of CSS, HTML, PHP, javascript, and SQL (and in that order).
